Super Eagles striker left fans in awe as his freestyle skills went viral on social media
Super Eagles forward Victor Boniface has once again set tongues wagging after a video surfaced online showing him mesmerising local football fans in Eastern Nigeria with a slick ‘snake bite’ move. The exact venue and date of the display were not specified in available reports, but the viral clip has put Boniface’s street football skills in the spotlight.
In the short video, Boniface can be seen surrounded by a crowd of eager supporters as he pulls off his signature trick, leaving opponents rooted to the spot. The striker then shouts, ‘I be real baller,’ drawing cheers and applause from those watching. No competitive match or official score was reported; this was pure showmanship and flair, underlining why Boniface is fast becoming a fan favourite both at home and abroad.
For Super Eagles fans, moments like these offer a reminder of the raw talent and confidence that Boniface brings to the national team. His ability to entertain off the pitch reflects his self-belief on it — attributes that could prove vital when Nigeria resumes its Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualification campaign later this year.
Neither Victor Boniface nor officials from the Nigerian Football Federation had released any statements about the viral moment at press time. However, social media reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, with fans hailing his skills and calling for more street-style engagement from top stars.
Boniface will return to club duties soon as pre-season preparations begin in Europe. Super Eagles supporters will hope he brings that same energy when Nigeria next takes to the pitch for AFCON qualifiers, with dates and fixtures yet to be confirmed.

FIFA Will Pay Somali Referee Omar Artan Full World Cup Fee After US Entry Denial
Despite missing out on officiating at the tournament, Artan is set to receive his full payment from FIFA
Despite missing out on officiating at the tournament, Artan is set to receive his full payment from FIFA
Somali referee Omar Artan will receive his full World Cup fee from FIFA, even though he was denied entry into the United States and could not officiate at the tournament. This decision means Artan’s earnings will not be affected by the travel setback that kept him off the pitch.
According to available information, Artan was unable to fulfil his World Cup duties due to visa issues with US authorities. The specific details around the denial were not disclosed in reports, but FIFA has stepped in to ensure the referee does not lose out financially for circumstances beyond his control.
For football fans and officials across Africa, FIFA’s move is seen as a strong message of support for referees facing challenges outside their own making. While Somali football has rarely featured on the world stage, Artan’s selection alone marked a major milestone for his country’s officials. That FIFA is paying him in full, despite the setback, could encourage more African referees to aim high in future tournaments.
Neither Omar Artan nor FIFA had issued a public statement at press time regarding how this experience might impact future international appointments for Somali referees. Similarly, there were no official comments from Somali football authorities about how they plan to support their officials going forward.
The World Cup continues in the United States without Artan on the list of match officials. It remains to be seen if he or other African referees will feature in upcoming global tournaments, with qualification and appointments still dependent on both sporting and logistical factors.

Cristiano Ronaldo and the entire Portugal squad made a touching gesture at the World Cup by wearing special wristbands in honour of Diogo Jota. The final score, match venue, and date were not reported at press time, but what stood out was the emotional show of support for their injured teammate.
The Portuguese stars stepped onto the pitch all sporting wristbands dedicated to Jota, who was forced to miss the tournament through injury. The details around when this tribute took place or during which match were not available in the source, but it was clear that team unity was at the heart of this act. Ronaldo, often seen as the leader on and off the field, joined his teammates in this symbolic move that caught fans’ attention worldwide.
For Super Eagles supporters watching international action, moments like these highlight how team spirit and solidarity can carry a squad even in difficult times. Nigerian fans will remember how unity played a big role during past Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaigns and may look to this example as inspiration for future tournaments.
Neither Portugal’s coaching staff nor Diogo Jota himself had issued a public statement about the wristband tribute at press time. There were also no comments from FIFA or World Cup organisers on whether similar tributes would be encouraged for other teams facing player absences.
Portugal’s next fixture details were not included in available reports. Fans will be watching closely to see if the squad continue their campaign with Jota’s spirit driving them forward.
